Let them come to your city and pick up your telephone and close your deals.  

Lastly, if you represent yourself, be prepared to block out several days for court appearances, no matter if the tenant shows up or not. 

Stay the course and look at upping your marketing approach.

Let us know how it goes and the way you ended up going with. 

As a PM/REALTOR® I wouldn't wait to get it mitigated to put a tenant in it. the city is not holding up the sale or tenancy for the certification.

We then moved back to California.Our primary house was purchased for $465,000 and ended up renovating and selling for $765,000.

Hey Patrick, I actually ended up just meeting with my town's code enforcement officer and confirming everything with him. 3 other people in my town have used this program so far to build separate houses on their lots, so he had some experience with seeing the process through.

We are still under construction but we ended up having to do everything including sub flooring, attic, roof, HVAC etc.

Additionally, with a 7% interest rate, I'm paying a significant amount in interest.On the other hand, if I save up for a down payment on a rental property, once I have enough to purchase the right property, it shouldn't require any additional money from me, and I'll be building equity without needing to contribute more.Does anyone have experience with this?

Will the 100's of thousands to input into the project provide a viable return or a cash out/equity push up refi for it to make sense?
